Get Over It
Battlecross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made a fortress from them that can't be overthrown
When I am judged it won't be you I answer to
I take the blame for all the wrongs that I have done
I'm over this get over it
You don't own my life
I'm over this get over it
I'm over this get over it
I wont get used to this
I'm over this get over it
So sick of you
I will not play your petty games
It's only in your head your lies become true
It's only in your head that these accusations make sense
I've ripped out my heart to get where I am
You can't stop doing what you've done to yourself
Left in the bitter cold, a fate of isolation
It's time to wake up and listen
I will not stand for your lies
No longer be your pawn
You're a worthless cunt
A plague unto society
Stay away from me
The lyrics of Battlecross's song Get Over It reflect the emotions of someone who has been constantly criticized, judged, and held back by others. The opening line "It's too late to take back all the stones that you have cast" refers to the negative words and actions of those people, which have hurt the singer deeply. However, instead of letting those stones shatter their confidence, the singer has used them to build a fortress, a strong defense against further attacks. The line "When I am judged it won't be you I answer to" shows that the singer has taken responsibility for their own mistakes, and is not willing to let others dictate their life choices.
The chorus serves as a declaration of independence and empowerment, with the singer firmly stating that they are over the negativity and drama that has surrounded them. They will not be controlled by others or become accustomed to their toxic behavior. The lines "It's only in your head your lies become true / It's only in your head that these accusations make sense" shows the singer's refusal to believe the distorted reality of their accuser, who has created a false narrative to justify their own malicious behavior. The final line "Stay away from me" is a clear warning that the singer will not tolerate any further involvement with this person.
